Example implementations relate to an access point (AP) that can via up from power save mode via a including Bluetooth low energy (BLE) system-on-chip (SoC) within the AP. The AP can include a power source, a power reset logic component in communication with the power source, a BLE SoC, a processor, and a non-transitory memory resource instructions executable by the processor that signals the AP is in a power save mode, receives an indication, via the BLE SoC, to wake up the AP, and wake up, via the BLE SoC, the AP in response to receiving the indication.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
3. The method of claim 2, wherein the elapsed period of time comprises a period of time that the AP is in the power save mode.
4. The method of claim 2, wherein the timer is programmed to activate at set time intervals.
5. The method of claim 4, wherein the set time intervals comprise at least one of a minute, an hour, and a day.
6. The method of claim 2, wherein the timer is activated by a user.
7. The method of claim 2, wherein the AP is in a network outside of reach of Wake on LAN (WoL) frame.
8. The method of claim 1, wherein the second AP is controlled via a network controller.
9. The method of claim 1, wherein the second AP includes a second BLE SoC.
10. The method of claim 1, wherein the second AP advertises network demand information associated with the second AP to the first AP, and wherein the network demand is greater than or equal to resources of the second AP.
11. The method of claim 1, wherein the first AP receives an advertisement from the second AP when the first AP is in the power save mode.
12. The method of claim 1, wherein the second AP is activated, via a mobile application, in response to determining the first AP is in the power save mode.
13. The method of claim 1, wherein the first AP wakes up via activation of a subsystem within the first AP.
15. The system of claim 14, wherein the second AP is controlled via a network controller.
16. The system of claim 14, wherein the second AP includes a second BLE SoC.
17. The system of claim 14, wherein the instructions of the second memory resource are executable to instruct the second processor to broadcast network demand information associated with the second AP to the first AP, and wherein the network demand is greater than or equal to resources of the second AP.
18. The system of claim 14, wherein the instructions of the first memory resource are executable to instruct the first processor to receive an advertisement from the second AP when the first AP is in the power save mode.
19. The system of claim 14, wherein the instructions of the second memory resource are executable to instruct the second processor to activate the second AP, via a mobile application, in response to determining the first AP is in the power save mode.
20. The system of claim 14, wherein the first AP wakes up via activation of a subsystem within the first AP.
